ArtSake

Whenever possible, we feature content straight from Massachusetts artists - the individuals at the core of this state’s vibrant creative life.

Artist to Artist

We bring together Massachusetts artists from different disciplines, in dialogue about issues integral to their work and life. It’s a chance to highlight the innovation of Massachusetts artists by exploring some of their shared ground.

We ask Massachusetts artists to shed light on their art-making process by focusing on three stages in the creative life of one work of art.
